THE BLACK DOUGLASES  

~Michael Brown

Examines aristocratic power and status and its place in Scottish political society through the greatest and most notorious magnate dynasty of late medieval Scotland. These lords of Douglas saw themselves as champions of the hero king; others thought them lawless and violent. War, for them, was not just a patriotic duty, but the means to power and fame in Scotland and across Europe.
